yeah it was, and yeah. last month i went to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in universal studios and there were a bunch of bags like that. i really wanted one but my mom didnt see any point in it (she isnt as into HP as i am. she refused to read the first book even when we were going to the theme park)

Thanks guys about the happy advanced bday thing :) I was born on the same day as Rupert Grint *fangirl sqeals* and, ironically, if that isn't enough, the day that the new Hunger Games comes out!!! I love my birthday :)

Malloy, uhh... well, if I stick with him all my life- which I can't guarantee. I'm a very practical person, and I'm not going to pretend he's gonna be with me all my life. He might be, but he might not. So yeah, if I stick with him till the time of my marriage, then no problemo. I'll have a love-marriage with him. My parents don't mind me marrying a guy I like, but they say I'm too young. That's my parents talking- not my religion.
And I am going to move to America in the near future, but he can't move with me. That's practically impossible. God knows what I'd do then. :/

malloy, yeah really lol.
and yeah, i havent stayed in one class all day since 4th grade. but in my school everyone just carries around one backpack to carry all there stuff all the time. its soooo heavy though :P

Lucky, I'm going into 8th. Where I live elementary schools go from kindergarden to 5th grade. Middle schools go from 6th to 8th grade, and high schools from 9th to 12th grade.
My old school was really small, kindergarden through 12th grade and only 600 kids!

I have pretty much no clue how the American classes work... So to make it clearer, 9th grade here is when you're 14-15. After that, you have three years of high school and then uni.
Abd my school is huge (by Finnish standards): grades 3-high school and 1100 students.

Same. My school's set up weird. The grade is divided up at the beginning of the year into 'teams'. A team usually has 5-7 teachers that teach your core classes. (Math, english, SS, etc.) You only get to see kids from other teams during electives and lunch. As far as I know, no other school in the area does this. (AND you don't get to pick your own electives.)

quibbler: lol i went last month, its amazing but there is fake snow all over the buildings. and its really hard to get into the three broomsticks.. u either need reservations or u wait in a hour long line D: but there is still a butterbeer stand outside. but theres still a line. so when you go, be prepared to wait! a lot! lol

THEY SELL CREST PATCHES AT WWoHP!!! YAY!! I CAN PUT RAVENCLAW AND SLYTHERIN ON MY SHOES!!!
Sorry, fangirl moment.
I need to get a Ravenclaw lanyard for my USB drive... I can't lose that. Our technology teacher flips when we lose them.

I was just at Old Navy (clothing store for those who don't know) and my mom found a Gryffindor quidditch shirt (even though it was for boys, I got it) !!! I'm using the wifi at a bagel shop. And for those who care, I'm turning thirteen and going into eigth grade :) class of '15!

cappy: AWESOME!! lol i can never find any shirts like that anywhere except in hot topic.. and im kinda scared to go in there D: only cause im not like the people there (its a store that sells novelty shirts, and lots of other things. its always filled with teenagers and the people that work there all have multiple peircings...)
